HOWTO: Nvidia drivers after hard drive install

**god** · 02-25-2003, 04:48 AM

rob, i dont think that was it... when i reboot, the lines that go down the screen show an error that my usb devices are not accepting new numbers....

where is the log of the start up saved? i can post a copy...

Glad to see good feeback on this post. I'm moving it over to Hdd Install which is really where it should go. Continue to post your results. I'm sure others will appreciate.

I found out that if I turn the computer off compleatly, and let it sit, then boot to linux i can use my USB devices... but ONLY if i power off for a bit...

That is just plain strange...and you didn't have this problem until after you installed the Nvidia drivers?

usb.c: registered new driver usb_mouse
usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver
usb.c: registered new driver hiddev
usb.c: registered new driver hid
hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[email protected]>
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

Well, the kernel is definately finding the mouse and loading the driver. Doesn't make any sense as to why it would stop working after a warm reboot... anyone got any ideas?
